Good luck to anyone participating :thumbsup

those guy dont understand how a contest works, that could be so rigged up.. they dont tell you the keyword till weeks AFTER they start the contest ? thats just cheap advertising.

someone on gfy should have a REAL seo comp..

It didnt start yet. Starts in January.

January the 15th is the start date...

Wow 3600$...LMAO

There wont be any seo guys playin for that chicken scratch. Thats a day to a weeks wage, hardly worth any effort.

Smokey, i agree.

I heard our gfy seo expert jojo is all pumped up about this contest...
Lets all wish him luck....

It's mostly about bragging rights.

I don't think you are supposed to put links to other boards up here.

sorry i meant announced not started..

the only way to have a true se comp is to use "existing keywords" or something randomly created at the inception of the contest..

otherwise i could just start the competition then tell my friend the keywords before it started , get 100 seo people all to drop links to my page in hopes of winning a prize thats impossible to win.

a better way to choose the keywords is to do something like " the first letter of each of the top 8 news stories on yahoo for the day it starts " that way theres no way someone could pre-seo the keywords

Have you ever seen a contest that was not rigged in some way?

Yeah all the stupid cotests are rigged so the best person wins. Idiot.

:helpme i cant tell if your being sarcastic or oblivious ( or funny ) :)

I haven' heard of many contest's that " the best person" wins.. although i guess that all depends on what you mean by "the best person".

I'm pretty sure you can agree many contests are rigged.. ( like the famous mcdonalds fiasco ) then add in the internet factor ( 99% on the internet is lies :) ) and your not looking at very good numbers in favour of " the best person" winning :)

I heard he already has a top 10 ranking for the term even though it hasn't been disclosed.
